1. I neither love nor hate her. I like her, and I find her interesting, but for some reason, it never came to love, whereas with her mother, a far darker character, I went there. I think it's because Regina does the Loki/Morgana thing of constantly blaming everyone but herself (well, almost), and Cora does not.

2. Despite what I just that: that she's such a child emotionally while also dangerous as hell in lashing out like a child. I do wish she'd be able to grow up, but she can be heartbreaking at times.

3. Regina makes Mr. Gold admit he knows he's Rumplestilskin. It's one of the few times when she manages something like that, though of course he's also still playing her. In terms of "oh, Regina, you are heartbreaking and appalling at the same time": letting Owen go. In the wilderness. A child whose father she just took prisoner. And yet, it's a heartbreaking thing on her part.

4. She's a far better cook than I am!

5. No.

6. See above as to why I don't love her though I like her.

7. I don't have any, but I can see Regina/Emma potential, absolutely.
